Prologue- Legend Of The Pink Puffball Hero: Act 1
Author's Note Intro:
Hi guys! This is my second story, this time with everyone's favorite pink puff Kirby. I had this idea pop up for a while, and it always struck me why I never gave it that much thought before; a lot of scrolling through fanart later, that's when I decided to just make this idea into an actual fanfic. Just remember to let me know what you think of this in your reviews and let me know what you want in this story to change, fix or improve.
A few things to know before reading- The first 3 three chapters are gonna be cutscene-based, while the remainder of the chapters you'll see later on as you keep reading is gonna be gameplay-based, so for now, the first 3 chapters are anime cutscenes starting with this one; the game of this story is not real, duh- disclaimer, but think of the story from the Kirby anime, "Kirby: Right Back At Ya!" but with visual given in this story, ok? I can't wait to see what Kirby game HAL is gonna make this time, so a Kirby RPG should be the next one, in my opinion, to be honest. Also, my story will act like an RPG starting here in the prologue with the title screen, then file select, your name and party members, game modes, and I've decided to add RPG styles for added flavor, y'know, and it supports multi-player in my version. There will be new fan-made abilities by me, new characters, new enemies, and some surprising returning foes that we all know and love, so there.
This is my version of a Kirby RPG game that I wanted to spread out and after playing so many RPGs, I decided to go all out with the battle mechanics and crap, but I just want a full-fledged Kirby RPG game; a good one needs to come out whenever, as long as it's good, I'm keeping my hopes up for a Kirby RPG game soon. I think this is the first time anyone has ever done this, but I could be wrong though, so just bear with me for a while, okay? And another thing to know is that my work will not be all perfect, but it's the best I can do for you, but I promise to do better in the future, and I'll go back and make some edits to some of the chapters here to make it better, at least better enough for you readers; it's an idea that I wanna share with everyone who's reading this, like you.
Oh yeah, there is a basis for reviews- if you plan on writing one, just keep in mind that I'm not a fan of negative reviews and obviously you can all agree with that, especially what you've seen them do to everyone else's stories- negativity; it's a mood killer for everyone. Honestly, you can expect that at some point, but too often is where I think every writer draws the line. If you want to leave a review, kindly point out the flaws in my story without putting a bullet wound in me and some pointers for improvement. If you don't wanna do that in your reviews here and in every other story you read, then just deal with it and just don't write it with all due respect. That's going too far and everyone hates a party pooper. Neutral reviews I don't mind because it's not on a side yet, unless it pokes out more than what it said, so be wary of that. Sounds harsh, but that's how it's gonna be and that's just the plain truth. Either way, I just hope that you enjoy it to the fullest. That aside, I'll make constant edits to every chapter, so that'll eliminate probably everything wrong with at least one of them, grammar mistakes, unnecessary lines/dialogue and whatsoever. Things will be different the next time you reread a chapter of this, so that's that.
Okay, enough of that drama. Enjoy the Prologue Act 1 chapter!

The Prodigal Puffball Warrior
What qualities do you expect in a hero awakened? Perhaps one who has the looks, the power, and reliability? A handsome man who can slay 100 monsters for a town? The one you've dreamed of being your husband or bride and is a hunk or sexy attractive hero, not one who is nothing than the looks or size? Well, you're wrong! Although a hero has to protect a town, the looks really don't matter, but it's true it does matter. I'll explain.
Judging by the looks, you'd say they're either strong or weak, correct? Would you expect the one with handsome to be powerful or the one who looks weak? Well, the "weak" one always wants to be the one everyone desires in their own way. Then, by chance that one is the person who saves the world. You would take the lowest one not by their looks, but their ability and will for what they're fighting for. Don't judge a book by its cover, because looks can be deceiving in their own way.
This reminds me of a hero who isn't what everyone expected, but in due time, he became a legend. An awakened star warrior by 200 early and now is a baby but grew to be a mature kid of 16 years of age. His name was Kirby. Born without any parents or any trace of his childhood from birth, he joined the star warriors after being awakened 200 years early. He didn't have that much combat skills, but his classic defense is a vortex coming from his mouth, taking everything and goes in his mouth called Inhale. His defense move was useful to the star warriors and the galaxy was safe⦠until now.
Dark forces appeared out of nowhere and attacks the cosmic planets. The star warriors went to war that time against them and won the battle, due to the cost of many loved warriors. This was known as the Great Galaxy War. A few had survived and went to find planets they can live on in peace. Kirby, riding on his StarShip, migrated and soon found Planet Popstar, where he settled as his new home. Ever since then, he saved his new home from many dangers and villains. He even stopped an invasion of robots and a wicked company from taking over. His own combat, strength and ability is what considers him as the most powerful person in the galaxy; he is that powerful than a normal Star Warrior. Kirby could take on anything that the world could throw at him, and he'll thrash them all.
But there's this one force that doesn't seem to go away: Dark Matter. Its origins remain unknown, none other than the fact that it lived a lonely existence as negative energy with no ability of having any emotions, but it has possessed inhabitants of Dreamland, the area which Kirby lives in. It took over Ripple Star, and was defeated by Kirby, followed by the leader, Zero. Peace returned and Kirby had a long peaceful year after Planet Robobot. Kirby was a happy hero, but sometimes he can't go one day without having to save the world again for whatever reason. Every time he wanted to relax, something always interrupts his daily business, resulting in saving the world and it repeated. After he saved the world from Haltmann Works Company, he finally rested in a long and peaceful year. But one day, all of that changed Kirby and everyone around him, for someone very important to the galaxy has come to visit Dreamland. A new face in town...
That day changed Kirby's life and a new adventure begins, but something unexpected happened, which all started with a familiar foe who sought for revenge... Kirby remembers it like a dream that he saw clearly. But one night, he was starting to have nightmares about that same persistent foe and all of the enemies he's faced that kept popping up everywhere on his mind, and it lasted for about a month. But his dreams are trying to tell him something very important, but he doesn't know exactly what it is. Nonetheless, while Kirby was busy having a sack full of nightmares that night, a special someone, a girl unknown to all, had an unpleasant dream about a foe that came back and attacked her planet before they attacked Popstar, and it was only a nightmare... or is it a worst nightmare that would soon become true in anyway possible?
The Legendary Crystal Princess
I had a dream. A dream about an old foe from long ago who was alive again. But this person is in a different place, like above or underneath a castle, I think. Before me, I see a sacred looking chamber that was composed of white marble everywhere while a giant staircase with black railings and velvet carpets glued to the floor circled around to the top that led to somewhere, but i don't know what that place is. There, my eyes gaze upon the giant shard in the middle which looked like a rhombus crystal that was stained with rainbow light inside, thus making it the color prism clear, but only with rainbow light. The exterior outside the crystal had 7 pedestals and 7 more outside the first set of pedestals. The first 7 pedestals contained rainbow stars that resembled gemstones and elements, having the star-shaped complexion with two rings around them like a belt as if they were like the outer planets. They look like the colors Green, Red, Blue, Cyan, Purple, Yellow, and Platinum-Cyan. On the outer part of the 7 other pedestals, they contained Diamond like emeralds that have the same color, but they were completely lighter than the previous ones, which are dark and average. The one thing I see them have are colored halos, which resides above the flat top of the diamonds, no, I think it's better to call them jewels. It seemed all real... but to me it was a dream...
Energy flowed out of each one of the gems and jewels, and out from each of them were spirit like people that looked like puffballs for some reason or whatever they are. That's when a dark beacon of light came from nowhere and struck the crystals in one hit. I see the jewels being pulled out of their pedestals as well as their souls, seeing dark portals appear above them, sucking them in with all their fury as they try to fight back. My eyes and mouth dropped to the ground upon seeing this, and it did once more when they both gaze upon a dark mass of energy reforming from a tiny army of swarms, forming one giant dark round thing. It got even worse when I saw a mysterious white human appeared through a swirling portal of red and black with the innocence of a boy, but the heart of a monster as that person wiped out the 7 gems and jewels and nearly threw them in portals. My eyes could not bear the sight of this pure assault as i saw the giant crystal starts to lose its glow, becoming weaker and weaker until the shield protecting it shattered, resulting in being zapped with negative energy, making the rainbow glow disappear, replacing light with purple and darkness of power. I wanted to do something, but I realized I can't do anything about it, because I wasn't there, but not when it happened. I was invisible to everyone. Me and all of the 14 spirits were forced to hear the wrath of the white human.
"Heh heh heh. Finally, the Cosmic Heart Shard is all ours! All ours! Thank you spirits, for being so kind as in to give us your planet's only source of power! With this, we will rule this puny planet and the entire galaxy at our disposal! Plus, this energy source needs to be filled with darkness, never shall there will be light to bring peace and prosperity to the galaxy, but darkness will fill the galaxy with sorrowful, heartless, rainbow-less, hateful and negative emotions and these qualities will form a world where no one will be happy!" He consulted with negative laughter. I reckon I could see the sorrow in the eyes of the spirits, who've failed to stop this white human that looks so familiar to me. The dark ball had formed an audience of which the energy swarms of the darkness formed dark humans, who then starts cheering for what could be their leader.
"No, y-you a-are- No, it can't be you! You were all destroyed by a Star Warrior a long time ago!" The green spirit spoke. The Star Warriors, eh? I've heard so much about them, the Warriors that destroyed every dark force ever known to this day. But I'm confused whether if there was one specific Star Warrior has anything to do with this dark foe, for it looks like he knows him a long time ago.
"Well, in compliance to your statement, you were ALL wrong, so think again, you foolish spirits and to everyone else who was pathetically stupid enough to believe we were completely dead the entire time from when you thought that they've defeated us! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" He roared in laughter as well as his underlings, who were laughing their guts out in response to that statement. The white human sighs to control his sorrowful and bloody laughter and then he throws his hands out to the side like a shrug and then he continued on with a stern, firm and dark voice.
"You really thought that once you've defeated us, that's the last time you'll see us again in about never? That's incorrect, losers! You see, spirits of the Gem Stars and the Soul Jewels, that's not the case here. We dark lords, villains, foes and etc. has a desire for revenge, to stop anyone that opposes us, especially the ones who became the bane of our goal and purpose. Just because we were crushed from the likes of goody-two-shoes like you all doesn't mean we're permanently gone. Just remember: We WILL come back anyway possible, whether you may not have heard from us ever again or if you sealed us away in a damn prison or if you cut off anyway for us to be reborn and escape, we will rise again, powerful and stronger than ever, thirsty to announce our exact plans to take over the world, we're not gonna let your heroes get in the way again ever, and people like you all will fall to your BLOODY DEATHS!" That was the most shocking message ever to be heard from him. His voice boomed with the roar of a giant dragon lord that echoed relentlessly across the chamber, bouncing off the walls, followed by the small booms of small laughter.
"You may have risen again, but that doesn't mean you'll take over the galaxy with your shenanigans! You dark foes will always fall like you always do and WE WILL DESTROY YOU!" All of the spirits yelled. "IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO STOP YOU, YOU KNOW WHO WILL MAKE YOU MEET YOUR GRAVESTONE AGAIN! THE LEGENDARY STAR WARRIOR THAT DESTROYED YOU THRICE!"
The white powerful human stops snickering when he heard that sentence. His facial expression alters from a wicked smile to a sorrowful worry expression, then he lowered his angelic head. "Oh, you mean your precious hero, don't ya? That Star Warrior who defeated us countless times, considered to be the most powerful person in the galaxy that ever existed with destructive capabilities, you say?" He turns around with his hands crossed behind his back. "I see. That kid gives me the willies every time I see him, reminding me of our fights together. You might be right that he will be the end of our dark forces, I suppose. You all remember our greatest foe, everyone, besides the girl, who doesn't count by the way. I'll explain later, but you know who they mean, right?" His question to his minions has gave them a change of confidence that changed into dark worries, leading all of them to mumble at each other, hearing who they're talking about. They all gave a "YES" as an answer, while the white human turns around, facing the 14 spirits that were about to be sucked in the portals.
"That's right. That Star Warrior is the most powerful person in history! He's destroyed your surviving greatest members, along with every other dark enemy that ever existed to take over the world! Your power is nothing beyond compare to his strength, you fool! How are you going to take down the warrior whose strength is beyond your comparison and more stronger and powerful than yours, huh?! You cannot win against someone with the lack of looks for a hero, but the true strength that lies within him with the capability of awesome power, fiend! You've failed to take over this planet, and you were beaten by our ruler, the heir to the throne of King Galactix and Queen Starilia, the Princess of Crystals herself twice, and now you've failed to take over Planet Popstar because you had your lives crushed and handed to you by the Legendary Star Warrior himself! Just how are you going to take down the most powerful foe you've ever faced now, fool?!" The green spirit insulted. The rest of the spirits joined in with the green spirit and agreed with him. The white human, now annoyed, turned around for a while, then turned back again. So they meant a specific Star Warrior whose power is beyond the enemy's comparison, the legendary warrior. This persons no ordinary warrior, he's a legend.
"*Sighs*" He moaned out a breath load of sighs, not before his expression on his face alters back to wicked, but after he gave the facial expression that he had just developed an idea. "As I said, we're not gonna let him get in our way again, which is why we have developed a plan to take him down! If we can't overcome him because of his power you say, then our next best option is to make him weak and powerless in a form he will take, just like your precious princess did! In your face, suckers, cuz at that rate, once he's powerless, no one will stand in our way again, and we will RULE the world!" He cackled loudly that it made my eardrums boom. "Now, all we need is no one to stand in our way, because handling the pain from the princess is something to fuss about, but we draw the line at a Star Warrior that humiliated us for years via our defeat, and everyone knew about it!"
Thunder crackled and fizzed, like a soda bottle that just exploded upon shaking, which is what's happening now. The rumble intensified one by one, and the white human turned to the 14 spirits with a huge wicked grin planted on his face. The spirits could not hold on anymore as the white human waved his hand in their direction.
"You'll never get away with this, you pathetic fool!" They all said. But all it did for him was made him laugh. Darkness swirled into a dark vortex with dark thunderbolts striking everywhere. I can hear the intense laughter of the minions as well as scattered screams pitching above.
"'You'll never get away with this, you pathetic fool!' Don't make me laugh, you pathetic spirits." He mocked them in wickedness. "We always win in the way you'd least expected, so get that through your thick, stupid skulls and wake up! No one will stop us now, for we are the most powerful force in history, AND I AM THE LEADER OF THIS DARK FORCE! And as for you Gem Spirits, you are too weak to stop us now that we're stronger and powerful than ever than your precious Princess of Crystals or the Hero of the Stars, so we don't need you all in the way of our revenge plan, if you'll please. Now that your "usefulness" has become "useless", I guess it's time for you 14 spirits to leave this planet and NEVER COME BACK TO STOP US! I HEREBY BANISH YOU ALL GEM SPIRITS FOREVER FROM THIS PLANET! Now that has been settled, BEGONE WITH YOU, PESKY CRYSTAL GEMS!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. Then, a giant portal was summoned to take the spirits away from this planet. They tried to escape, but... to no avail. The 14 spirits were sucked into the amazing portal of darkness, banished from their home all at once. The white human and all of his minions howled with evil laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"CURSES, YOU BLASTED NO-GOOD DEMON! YOU WILL MEET YOUR END ONE DAY! THAT STAR WARRIOR WILL DESTROY YOU WHEN YOU STRIKE AGAIN!" Is what the green spirit could only say before he was taken forcefully out of the chamber and into elsewhere, closing the portal and in a lock. Once that ended, the white human let out a sigh of sweet relief. I just wish I could do something about this, but I can't. Is this a vision, or a nightmare? Did this even happen or is it just only a nightmare?
"Pathetic fools, and once we achieve our goal, we'll be able to exact our revenge on our old foe, that powerful star warrior. And also, those pesky spirits were starting to get on my nerves, y'know." He said. "Well, now that's been taken care of, the only thing left to do is to corrupt-no, wait, the shard has been corrupted, no, we did that 2 days ago... Oh yeah! The last thing on our to-do list is to prepare for our reign of terror by setting up the bait to get our target. Who's ready to take over the world?" He asked. The minions howled with pleasant cheers like a crowd spectating for a match. They were all excited to do so. A wicked smile grew across the white human's face, seeing the cheers of his faithful underlings, supporting him in every step of the way.
"I knew you all would be up for the challenge. Now, since this planet and the 7 other planet's under our control, I, as the leader, will eventually stay here to keep things under management, since this will be our base and the ruler herself left for a vacation on another planet, but who knows? Not our problem in the moment. As for the rest of you, your mission is extremely important, so listen up, underlings!" He commanded as the group of minions gathered around him. "Your mission, like I mentioned earlier, is to set up the bait for our little target. Only one problem, though and this is important. Did you all realize how low we're running out of energy? That's our main concern this time. We need a new energy source to fill with dark power, and even though we corrupted the Cosmic Heart Shard with dark power and you all must be thinking that's enough to supply us, then you're wrong. Our full power is yet to be unlocked since we were reborn and our true capability is still under way, we only have the power to possess people and also we just gained the ability to take forms- that's it... our reign will not be successful if we don't have something to act as our supplier. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions, because I'd never thought we'd get this far, so...?"
Everyone stared blankly at the leader. They were trying to figure out what could be their best source supplier in order to prosper. Then, someone raised his hand from the crowd, having an idea implanted in his head. He stood up, ready to speak his answer to their solution while the rest turned their heads to that person.
"Maybe, if we can't find something, we could use SOMEONE to be our source of energy, yeah! That person will give us infinite power along the way to that planet and back and we will rule this time!" He cheered. "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
...
Everyone was mumbling constantly among this idea. Then, the white leader then spoke. "That idea just might be stupid enough... but crazy enough for it to work! Using someone might be the next best thing in line to something!" He cheered in approval. "Now that's been solved, soldiers, I need a few group to scout each planet and gather some remaining energy, call it our back-up energy in case you all crash and check on the assigned group members that are there, since this is the group that i picked to come with me. Make sure you keep an eye out for any of the spirits on who knows what planet they're on? Keep a low profile on each planet except for ONE planet. If you have anyway of reaching the target of our choice, please do so. All we need is someone to take in dark energy for us and we're good to go, so just grab the first person you see!" He confirmed this, but was stopped by the guy that gave the suggestion.
"Um, about that, lord... We can't do that."
"Huh? What do you mean by that, rookie?"
"I'm saying, we can't just grab any random person to use as our supplier. The citizens, like regular people- humans, are NOT capable of harnessing that kind of power! They're not resistant and invincible, they're fragile and weak! There's so little of what we can get out of them, and we can get only neutral energy out of humans."
"... Oh, yeah. You're right about that for sure, definitely." Everyone started agreeing to that statement with the leader. "Great. Just what we needed. Just how are we supposed to pull off that stunt now with that pathetic truth about the people?"
"Sir, I suggest the solution to that problem is just this: all we need now is to capture the right person who can harness the power of darkness themselves, like someone who's been affected by dark magic more than once or absorbed its energy, like, maybe a curse or something, the possibilities are endless with dark power, but our best choice is someone who has at least one portion of darkness sealed away inside them due to a curse or something absorbed. And we need that person to act as bait for that puny planet before we capture that person, you know what I mean, right? However, if one won't be enough, then we need to harness the people with GEP."
"So, what you're saying is that we need the right person, stable enough to take in negative energy due to absorption of power, and make sure they go to our destination without their consent, and then once the deed's done, that's when we capture them, right?" He summarized.
"That's right, sir. Now we need to pick the right person to play bait for us, and we're all set for our domination!" The rookie replied. Everyone claps in agreement.
"The one who has absorbed a "curse" of dark power, eh? Well, we're in luck, because I just happen to know a special somebody who fits PERFECTLY in that description. Men, get ready for an assault, prepare yourselves! We're gonna pay her a little visit and a special visit to our main target planet: The Planet Of Stars, where you will destroy that Star Warrior by our little bait before he can do anything about it, and once he's out of the way, take our target back here and we'll corrupt that person in darkness as our supplier. This may take a few weeks to reach there, but it's all worth it for our comeback, so I need the best men to take on the journey to that planet, and we're good to go! Nothing can stop us now if this goes exactly planned, and if he manages to chase after us, it never hurts to have a backup plan or if they try to stop all the grand, legendary creatures of the planets we are gonna possess! WE WILL RULE THIS TIME AND THEY WILL KNOW WHO'S BACK IN TOWN FOR THEIR REVENGE, BOYS! COME ON, WHO'S WITH ME?! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" He roared in evil laughter that filled the air with its echoes. His underlings joined in with him as well in his evil laughter as they also cheered for his evil speech of encouragement.
"Hello, Star Warrior and every pathetic person in the known universe who thought we're dead. WE'RE BACK, SUCKERS." That was enough to shake me in fear of his daunting dark voice, slapping me back to reality. "IF YOU REBEL AGAINST US, YOU'LL SUFFER THE COLD WRATH OF REALITY ITSELF, AND HE WILL DESTROY YOU, HEAR THAT, STAR WARRIOR! HA-HA-HA! THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT, WON'T IT, WARRIOR AND PRINCESS?! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" That was all I remember before my nightmare shattered to pieces.
Honestly, I don't think I can call that a nightmare... but maybe it was a future warning?
Either way, I'm not gonna like it if it was the truth...
Elsewhere, In The Cosmos...
"AHH!" I woke up absurdly, just recovering from that nightmare I just had a few seconds ago that passed by already. Looking around, I just saw that I was inside the airship taking us to our destination. It was an airship that was all marble white, decorated with crystals that hung above the ceiling in the free space, made of gigantic diamonds, blended in different colors and a mix as well. It was passed down in our family for generations, this ship named, "Cosmic Star." This was my dad's first airship, and his dad's airship, and his dad's airship, and so on.
I was in the cosmic space bed, just taking myself into a deep sleep for a while since the trip took a few weeks to reach there. The pilot was none other than my guardian himself, who was taking control of the ship that had a big projector screen, showing the ship's conditions and the length of how long we were gonna be there. It was set to auto-pilot as he walked over to me, aware of my nightmare.
"Your Highness, something seems to be bothering you? Are you well, Your Highness?" He asked, concerned.
"Thank you, Commander. I just had a nightmare, about him again, but it seemed my nightmare was trying to tell me something, about the spirits being banished from home. That fiend then said something about invading a planet of their choice or something like that, everything that happened in my dream was a blur to me. But the one thing I heard from them was something about getting back on the Star Warrior that destroyed them after we did. It seemed...real... like it really was going to come true." I explained. He then just stared for a few moments, then continued to reply.
"I see. That has been weird that you've been having nightmares about that dark force, alright. Don't worry, everything will be alright. (I hope)." He said to me.
"But what will we do if they ever come back, whether that was a silly nightmare or not, and what if we fall and if somethings happens to me, and you're fallen to even help me? I mean, I know I saved our planet star from them before, but that was years ago, not before they had to... leave me, my parents and my own little sister." My parents and my little sister were filling my head from empty thoughts. They were my life, they really cared and loved me so much, but now they're gone because of them, leaving me all by myself. My little sister disappeared one day without a trace, and we couldn't find her; I'm not even sure if she's alive right now. She was only 4 years old when she disappeared. It was lonely to rule by yourself, well, due to the exception of the guards and the servants and my annoying chancellor, and so on, but I really wish there was someone who could be with me now, or maybe could be my husband or at least be there with me. I'm just being delusional now.
"Then, if I fall and you are captured, we can call on the help of the Star Warriors, well, the last remaining ones, who'll definitely come to help anybody in distress, especially the Legendary Warrior himself, if he can. Not saying I can't help you, because I will, but that could be our only chance of help, y'know. Just saying." He shrugged. "But it's best not to worry about it now, Your Highness. It's not good to think negative all the time."
"... I guess you're right, Commander. Thank you. So, how long till we're there?" I asked him.
"Looks like we're about to reach that planet in about 3 hours or so. We're close, your Highness." He replied. "Plus, it's 10:00 in the Galactic Solar System, so we have time still, like until 1:00, maybe."
"Well, thank god for that, I was starting to get bored anyway. You did send the letter to the King of that planet about our upcoming arrival, did you?" I asked, dusting myself dainty-like while standing up from my bed.
"I sure did, Your Highness. Everyone is getting ready for when we arrive later on." He replied.
"Good. We wouldn't want to just appear without letting them know first, that would just be inconsiderate and not royal-like at all. Well, anyway, I'll be taking a shower if you need me for whatever it is. Also, once I'm done, I need you to help me find my prism high heels and my tiara, will you?" I asked. "Oh, and get me my clothes as well, Commander."
"Yes, Your Highness. I will help you at once. After you're done taking a shower." He saluted me, then left to the command deck at once. Still dazed from sleeping, I shrugged and threw the old tired feeling over my shoulder, sliding on my slippers as I kinda scratched my rear end for about 3 seconds. Walking over to where the shower room currently is, I pressed the button that activates the doors, entering inside.
With no one inside or around me while in here, I began to remove my night clothes, which is a pink and black double sleeved shirt, and long pink pants as well. After I've finished, I grabbed a towel, placed my clothes on top of the sliding door, and hopped inside the shower. I then turned on the nozzle, warm water pouring on my bare skin with relief. As I was finished for a few minutes, I stepped out of the showers, wrapping the towel over my chest, and counting for my hair, which was soaking and heavy like a wet towel. I hummed as I walked outside the door, and into my dressing room, dripping low with water forming puddles everywhere I walk in each step.
Entering inside, I saw a straight line up of dresses set out for me in my closet. My mind went to the thought of what I'm gonna wear as my hands trims through the selection of clothes. Each dress had at least one color specifically: Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Platinum, Amethyst, Gold, and Sapphire. Then, my eyes focused on a new dress that was a mix of sapphire but had Flora Pink along with it as well as the emblem of my planet itself hanging in the free space. I decided that's what I'm gonna wear, but first, I have to fix myself at least, well, my hair, I mean. It's soaking wet! So, grabbing the hair dryer from the drawer, I removed the towel wrapped around hair, falling down to the end of my back, with its golden appearance in place. I turned on the hair dryer, blowing the locks of golden hair to the side as it blowed. I can feel my hair dry up like a wet towel that's now becoming dry again. Once I've finished, I turned the blow dryer off, ending the joyride that my hair just had. I placed large pink hair streaks with hair dye to match with the dress. After that, I went over to where the new dress was, eager to wear it, even though it was something I never knew I had in my closet the whole time, or maybe I didn't know that at all! Dang, that's something you wouldn't expect everyday. Well, I guess there's no shame in putting on a dress you didn't know you had, so without hesitation, I started to put on this new dress for the occasion.
A few minutes later, after putting on the dress, I looked in the long length body mirror near me, looking at myself in this new dress. It was sapphire blue with flora pink mixed in it, with a jewel encrypted in the chest part. The shoulders had silver accents that was like acting as the shoulder sleeves while my arms were covered in long silver gloves to make up for it. The pattern on it was zig-zags that were white on the fringes, and the emblem showed itself in the middle with the seven colored stars on it. I was looking complete, but not yet. I went over to the drawer, containing the make-up, so which I had to apply that to my face: white eyeliner, blue powder on my cheeks, light red lipstick that was somehow pink, mini emerald earrings, placing on my star belt, my lapis ring, and my star-shaped necklace that stuck to my neck like a collar and it looks just like the Star Warrior's Warpstar. My sideburns are also star shaped as well, and a nice bang is latched to my forehead. Just perfect. Now I just need to find my shoes and my crown and that's it for now.
"Your Highness?" Commander knocked politely. "I've found your tiara and your shoes for you, they were under your bed for the shoes and your tiara was left in the cockpit. Don't really know how that got there." He just shrugged it off with no clue whatsoever, handing me my two missing items.
"Thank you, Commander. I really appreciate your services and your help as well." I said, smiling. "I'll see to it that I'll reward you for your efforts, Commander."
"You're welcome, Your Highness. It's my pleasure." He replied. He then left to check on something, so leaving me to finish the look myself. Slipping on my prism high heels, I felt taller in the perfect height just right for me. They fit my feet really nicely, and it was comfortable, too. I then lowered my tiara that was gold and has a blue gem in the middle as it always is, completing my look. Gazing into the deflectable mirror, it kept up with the updates I've made to my look just like that. My eyes shone brightly sapphire and pink to the sight of my own self. "Just perfect." I thought to myself. "Oops, missed a spot." I giggled to myself as I grabbed the blanket of a luna's veil that will act as a cape for me in my stead. Attaching the cape to the accents, it falls back to its position of being a cape. It was white, but similar to a golden veil. "Now it's perfect. Let's just hope nothing goes wrong at all, because the last thing I want to happen is an ambush of any kind, pure destruction, or a kidnap itself. Well, there's nothing to worry about now. Just be positive, alright?" My conscience was speaking to me as a counselor of wisdom. With that cleared out, I still have one more hour left before we arrive at our destination. Stepping out of the dressing room, I went over the couch to sit down for a while.
Taking a look on the magazine lying next to me, informed about all the great vacation spots on different planets, I picked up the magazine, eager to read its content. Flipping over to the first page, the page was filled with introduction and table of contents for the next page. I scrolled through the stack of pages, with my eye stopping on one page about the planet we're going to. A golden star-shaped planet with two rings, nine planets, and a Galactic Clockwork Star. This planet is the heart of this solar system, the Galactic Solar System, and the light of it as well. I scan more deep into the details about this golden planet. It stated other planets are made for at least each element and purpose, but the star-shaped planet is an all in one package deluxe planet, becoming the main resources of the Galactic System. From beautiful plantations to solar skies, this is definitely the planet that is tied in first place along the other royal planet, Crystal Star. The main part of this golden star is the main common area, that is ruled by the King himself. The only flaw in this planet is that it's been assaulted by dark forces and was almost taken over, but the reason why they've failed to do so is because of their greatest hero, the Legendary Star Warrior. His power has the most destructive capability yet, but he uses it wisely. It would be a pleasure, because if you were the one coming here and would have the chance to see him, you would be considered lucky.
A couple of minutes went by as I was super-glued to the magazine, not letting hunger nor anything take over me, although I did forget to eat something for breakfast, that's true and I was famished, to be honest. But I don't care anyway. The part that really got me drooling was the Star Warrior himself. It didn't mention what his name was...
This planet is the home of the Legendary Star Warrior himself? Hmm, very interesting. I was known as the Legendary Crystal Princess in the galaxy, and he is known as the Legendary Star Warrior in the galaxy as well. It seems we were destined to see each other one day, like fate was going to pull us together in holy matrimony, making my life the luckiest life ever existed in my world- wait, what am I even saying?! Why was I thinking marriage suddenly at this rate? I guess I'm thinking of finding someone that is just perfect for me in my life to make up for... ah, never mind that anyway.
My eyes darted to the images of this warrior, making me change my point of perspective on my vision of this warrior. He's... not what you'd expect a hero to look like anyway, but I must admit, he is cute. Wonder what else he'd look in a different form, I see- maybe like how I am. Now as I was hypnotized by the images of the Star Warrior and I think I'd drooled a little, the hypnotizing spell shattered when the voice of the Commander slapped me in the brain. My drool climbed back up to its jumping point of my mouth as if it was a bungee jumper, startling me at once. I dropped the magazine, standing up, trying to defend myself in a sleep fighting way. I didn't know it was the Commander I sicced, adding a chopping razor slash on another thing too.
"Huh? What? Who... who goes there?! Heeyah!" I mumbled, striking the blurry thing at will.
"Prin- OW! OOH! AHH!" I then heard some distorted grunts of pain as I punch with full force, slamming it against the wall in one powerful hit. I then continued to lock onto something else, chopping whatever it is in the process. I could feel the hard, smooth cover of the immense object that was mercilessly being a knife's hacking food chopping dish. The emotions in my head took over me and got me to open my eyes to the actual fabric of reality after that karate fiasco. I was forced to turn my head to where there was a smashed crater that looked like someone's body that was punched hard to the wall. The other thing I noticed was the Commander lying deadbeat on the floor, groaning stuff about his chode.
"OOOOOOOHH... My chode... I needed that chode!" He groaned on and on about his chode for a few minutes.
"Oh, Commander! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" I asked, running over to him.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Except for my chode, I needed that chode, it hurts so bad!" He groaned.
"I'm sorry, I guess I don't know my own strength sometimes. Heck, I didn't know that punch could make that much of a hole in the wall." I continued, looking at the body-shaped wall.
"Me neither, and you made the table over there seen better days, I presume." He pointed over to where I was at first, seeing the dismantled table chopped in half with no mercy ahead of it. I sweatdropped.
"Oh my, that's gonna leave a mark-a huge one on the table." I was surprised that I did that without even thinking at all. I reach my hand out to the Commander, pulling him up from the plaster-covered floor from the wall.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Don't worry, I'll fix it later; it's not that bad of damage anyway." He dusted himself off as he stood. I was kinda feeling bad about accidentally throwing the Commander and chopping the table, you know. Looking at the debris of the mess you've made really puts you in guilt unless you don't feel that way. Then, the Navigation Panel starts ringing suddenly. Commander ran over to the panel to receive the alert.
"What's wrong, Commander?" I asked. "Did something happen? Are we..."
"No, Your Highness. The only good news here is that we have reached our destination, in other words, we made it to the planet!" He confirmed.
"Finally! I'd thought we'd never make it there!" I said, relieved that we had made it to the planet. It felt like an eternity coming here by ship, waiting to run out the door and take a fresh scent of the air.
"Take a look at the planet itself, Your Highness. You've never seen it up close before, haven't you?" Commander then pushed a button that zoomed in on the object closely, and when he did, I could see the planet up close. It was a golden star-shaped planet with two milky way rings, nine planets or more, and it's weird that I don't see a Galactic Clockwork Star anywhere. It was amazing, and my mind was literally blown.
"That's weird, the magazine said it was guaranteed there was a Clockwork Star here," I asked.
"Maybe the Star Warrior can tell you all about it when we get there," Commander replied. "In about 5 mins."
"What's his name anyway? No one ever told me his name or his sister!"
"Oh, that's easy. The early 200-year-old Star Warrior, yes?"
"Yes, him," I said sternly.
"The Hero of our destination, The Hero Of Planet Popstar, and his name is Kirby & his sister is Karly."
"Kirby..." I thought. "What a lovely name. I like it." That name just fits with someone like him, an adorable pink boy that has the courage to save the galaxy, even if he doesn't look like a hero or warrior. I can't wait to meet him at Planet Popstar, his home in person, along with his sister and friends. I noticed that we're getting closer to Popstar through the cosmos. Hmm... something tells me I'm gonna enjoy this vacation, but I also have a gut feeling that something's going to happen, and it's all because of me, the ruler of Crystal Star...
So, there you have it. This is only a part of the beginning, however. We have a lot to go through to understand the connection. A tale like no other has never thought would exist actually becomes the heart of this legend. A mere overview of the past, yes for almost all of you, but a fair warning to heed: you just might eat those words somehow... probably or maybe not. Your understanding of hearing this tale? It's most likely a guarantee you will have confusion and doubts at every turn. I wonder... actually, it can wait; you'll find out eventually.
This is how another tale of Popstar came to life... and the events starts with what was supposed to be a special day in Dreamland... crushed in bitter darkness...

End of Prologue Act 1!
Author's Note Summary:
Hey guys! Prologue Act 1 is done, or should I say updated? Yes, in fact, this is the updated version of Prologue 1, like the first half of it before the other half was originally the prologue, but then someone told me that I should make it longer and make some changes to it because at first they didn't understand it, and now they do, but they wanted a few changes to it or add something to it that would connect to the rest of the chapters, so I did, and it was also because I ended up leaving out the rest of the parts you see now and I didn't realize it, so that was a hassle, but worth it. I forgot to update this when I posted the latest chapter, and I apologize for that and anything else that bothers you. I'll continue this story and get far as much as I can for any of you are in favor of getting a Kirby RPG for your satisfaction. That's all I have to say, and enjoy the rest of the chapters and have a nice day! Byyee!
